In the main hall of the court, Li Zhen had a gloomy face and a serious expression.

Before that, he got the news that he was not alone in the auxiliary ministers left by Xianfeng, as well as Prince Zheng Duanhua, University Scholar Su Shun, Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Military Aircraft Minister Mu Yin, Du Han and Kuang Yuan, plus a former minister Jing Shou. plus Li Zhen, he is still the eight auxiliary ministers, and the number of the eight auxiliary ministers in history is the same. The difference is that at this time, Jiao Youying, the minister of military aircraft in history, was missing, because Jiao Youying was still released as an official at this time and did not enter the center.

Li Zhen was very dissatisfied with this.

He thought that he was the only auxiliary minister, but he didn't expect that seven other people suddenly appeared.

In fact, a careful analysis can also be understood.

Xianfeng wants to let Jae-chun succeed to the throne smoothly, and let people assist Jae-chun, and it is impossible for Li Zhen's family to dominate. After Xianfeng's deployment, eight ministers were left, and the power was even more divided. Not only that, Li Zhen has to face the exclusion of the remaining seven ministers, and the situation is not good. Fortunately, Li Zhen had a relationship with Cixi and Ci'an, otherwise Li Zhen, the auxiliary minister, would definitely be in a difficult position.

Xianfeng tried his best to be the emperor in order to be the emperor safely.

Eight auxiliary ministers were left behind, and two seals were also left.

Before his death, Xianfeng deliberately made two seals of "Imperial Reward" and "Tongdaotang", and used these two seals as a symbol for the promulgation of the edict. Among these two seals, the seal of "Royal Reward" is sealed; The chapter of "Tongdaotang" is the seal (end). Xianfeng handed over the "Imperial Reward" chapter to Ci'an; And handed over the "Tongdaotang" chapter to the crown prince Zaichun, because Zaichun was young, the "Tongdaotang" chapter was actually in charge of Cixi.

With two seals, the Eight Auxiliary Ministers only had the right to sort out state affairs, but they did not issue orders such as ordinances. In other words, the rights of Ci'an and Cixi were above the eight ministers. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always had a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and Ci'an and Cixi only have the right to make decisions, but not the right to participate, and cannot participate in major national affairs.

So, in turn, this restricts the rights of Ci'an and Cixi.

Obviously, Xianfeng's great effort was to have Ci'an and Cixi and the Eight Ministers jointly govern after his death, so as to avoid the situation of the monopoly of the Eight Ministers and the dictatorship of Ci'an and Cixi.

Li Zhen stood in the main hall, thinking about what Ci'an and Cixi had told, and his heart was slightly cold.

These two people didn't tell him all the truth!

Now that he was about to go to court, he learned that there were other auxiliary ministers, and he was caught off guard.

"Step! Trample!!! ”

The sound of messy and hurried footsteps came, disturbing Li Zhen's thoughts.

Li Zhen looked up and found that the ministers of the early dynasty were coming and entered the main hall one after another. Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Du Han, Su Shun and others walked in and also saw Li Zhen standing in the main hall early. Seeing this, Su Shun was very unhappy in his heart, because it was definitely inappropriate for Li Zhen to stay in the palace as a man, so he said in a low voice: "Staying in the palace is not a good thing!" ”

Although his voice was small, it was amplified in the main hall, and Du Han, Duanhua, Yi 60 and others heard it.

Du Han watched with interest, with a posture of watching a play.

Li Zhen's face turned sideways, and he said, "Lord Sushun sprayed feces when he opened his mouth, did he eat in the morning?" Anyway, you are a nobleman of the clan, and you have no education, I really don't know how you have come over in the past few decades, and you have lived to be a pig? Or did you live to a dog? A dignified scholar, but he spoke wildly and wantonly. If it weren't for today's event, the official would immediately teach you a lesson, teach you how to behave and how to speak. ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, echoing in the main hall, and all the officials heard them.

The corners of Su Shun's mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen's reaction was so hot.

He just opened his mouth to speak, just to test Li Zhen's reaction, if Li Zhen didn't fight back, Su Shun could try his best to suppress Li Zhen next. If Li Zhen spoke back, he would definitely have to consider one or two, so as not to force Li Zhen in a hurry. However, Li Zhen replied unexpectedly loudly, which made Su Shun lose face. And now that it is in the palace, it is not easy for Su Shun to open his mouth to fight back, otherwise he will really ignore the emperor.

Su Shun suffered a dumb loss, and continued to walk forward with a cheeky face.

The hundred officials stood still in accordance with the order, and waited for Xianfeng to go to court.

They still didn't know that Xianfeng was dead, and they were still looking forward to it. Li Zhen looked at the expectant look in the eyes of all the officials, and felt quite interesting in his heart. After waiting for five minutes, seeing that the hundred officials were a little impatient, Li Zhencai spoke: "Colleagues, the emperor's condition has worsened, and he can't come to the court today. However, the emperor entrusted the official to come and announce his will. ”

"Just say it, don't talk nonsense!"

Su Shun snorted and said immediately.

Li Zhen said with a smile: "If Lord Sushun can't wait, this official will allow you to leave first." When the emperor's will is read, someone will inform you. ”

Su Shun opened his mouth, and he was deflated again.

Li Zhen looked at Duanhua and said in a deep voice: "Prince Zheng takes the order!" As soon as the words fell, a eunuch walked over with a bright yellow holy decree and handed it to Li Zhen. Li Zhen looked at Duanhua, but Duanhua was stunned for a moment before he walked out, knelt in front of Li Zhen and raised his hands, and said loudly: "Chancellor Duanhua takes the order!" ”

Immediately, Li Zhen read out the decree appointing Duan Hua to succeed as auxiliary minister. Duanhua stood up and returned to the queue with the holy decree, his eyes flashing with excitement. I didn't expect him to be an auxiliary minister at his age.

Li Zhen looked at Zaiyuan and said, "Prince Yi Zaiyuan receives the order!" ”

"The minister receives the order!"

Li Zhen read out the appointment of Zaiyuan again, and after Zaiyuan received the holy decree, he stood back in a regular manner.

"Duhan takes the order!"

……

"Mu Yin takes the order!"

……

"Jing Shou takes the order!"

……

"Kuang Yuan takes the order!"

……

Li Zhen successively read out the holy decree, promulgating the appointments of Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Duhan, Mu Yin, Jingshou, and Kuang Yuan, leaving only Su Shun alone. At this time, Su Shun was anxious, and the rest of the ministers were appointed, but without him, Su Shun felt very uncomfortable. He looked at Li Zhen and wanted to question, but he couldn't ask about this matter at will.

Su Shun felt uncomfortable, and so did Yi 60.

Even if Yi 60 is planning to compete for the throne, he is very disappointed without his share at the moment. Li Zhen stared at Su Shun and Yi 60, taking in the expressions of the two in his eyes.

He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Su Shun takes the order!" ”

"The minister takes the order!"

Su Shun was excited in his heart, and immediately knelt down with a plop.

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth turned up slightly, and he held the holy decree in his right hand, but he didn't immediately spread out his hand to read it, but said unhurriedly: "Lord Sushun, there is a distance of nearly eight feet between you and me. You are kneeling so far away, how can you answer the order? In my opinion, it's better to come and kneel down a little bit, so that it is convenient to receive the order! ”

When Su Shun heard this, his cheeks were boiling hot, and his ears were red.

These words are too shocking.

But when it came to the holy decree, he still stood up obediently, walked to Li Zhen and knelt down. Su Shun made up his mind in his heart, and when he became an auxiliary minister, the first one would be to solve Li Zhen and get rid of this person who humiliated him three times and twice.
